The record

Product: PersonaChat is an AI character chat and roleplay app for iPhone and iPad.
Character creation: The Character Workshop lets users define characters’ personalities, traits, backstories, scenarios, and conversation styles.
Group chat: Group Chat mode puts multiple characters in one scene, with smart routing selecting who responds and characters reacting to each other.
Memory: The app combines a running recap, Living Memory for selected older facts, and a user-controlled Lorebook.
Model choice: Users can optionally connect their own OpenRouter API key to access models, with usage billed separately by OpenRouter and no PersonaChat markup.
Local storage: Conversation history, Living Memory, and Lorebook are stored on the user’s device, with no server-side conversation database or chat-content logs stated in the privacy policy.
Data processing: For built-in models, relevant text is sent through VenusCloud to open-source AI models accessed through OpenRouter, and the maker says those prompts are not used to train AI models.
Transport security: The maker says requests to AI providers are encrypted and hardened against interception and tampering.
OpenRouter key security: For BYOK, the API key is stored in iOS Keychain and supported requests go directly from the device to OpenRouter.
Notable limitation: Chats do not sync automatically to a new device through a cloud account.
Audience: The maker describes the app as intended for roleplayers, writers, and interactive-fiction fans; conversations are fictional entertainment and the app is rated 16+.
Support: For help or questions, users can use the support options in the app or join the maker’s Discord community.
Company: PersonaChat is provided by Venus Cloud Ltd., registered in England and Wales.
Price from: $4.99/mo
